    I know how you feel living this peaceful life. At 75 I moved to Brittany in the Northwest of France to live like you a quiet life.
    I'm absolutely at peace now and enjoy my slow life.
    Thanks you for taking me to Beaune a town that I visited years ago and absolutely loved it.

    You are a brave soul to pick up your life and move from your home country to another. That being said, France is beautiful. Your life there seems to be peaceful and beautiful as well. I would love to be there. I am in the United States in Ohio. I am retired now and my life is slower than it used to be. But I so want to go visit France. Thank you for sharing.

But it is a very wonderful dream. At the very least, I want to come visit.

    The reason why I come here to your channel is for the simplicity,the beauty and to dream. I’ve never been to France,though I long to. Your sense of seeking simplicity is I think what many of us strive for. I love my quiet , simple life that I have always sought . A few years back at the beginning of summer I thought this year I am having a simple summer, and I never looked back. I am so happy for you and that your parents visit often.

Ive taken on the difficult challenges of new jobs, but have recently searched the ones now with less responsibilities and enjoyed this so much more. I have just taken on work, cooking and baking for a cafe which has been quite stressful and its been a reminder of what i dont want anymore. Myself and my partner are near the end of land ownership, and am working on our future rental whilst creating a simple home with gardens. We then hope to buy in France and create the same there so i can be closer to my family and create a more peaceful life.

    Just last week I was staying in Beaune :) I found it to be magical and beautiful.
    I go back there again on the 18/09/23 to finalise my house purchase and
    at long last pick up my house keys to my property in Maizeries Sur Amance
    Every French person have been so kind to this Australian ,
    especially to superb staff at the Kryaid Hotel in Beaune,
    where I will be staying again in a few weeks time.
    Not a fan of Dijon unfortunately just didn't thrill me but Paris OMG ! I absolutely love that place !!!!
